### issue

Just wanted to make table columns resizable. feels like it's such a common thing for those who builds  data grids tables.

I have just found out about 
`-webkit-resizer` it could have been useful if i where able to change width and height, but it isn't.

ppl are also [asking](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28617747/how-to-resize-div-with-css-by-the-border) for how to make the hole border as a resize handle, but the css resize only gives us a small corner that you are only able to change background color, which is undesirable. 

making each cell resizable in a table have an undesirable affect too, if you resize cell A1 and then resize cell A2, then you can't make it shorter than A1. since A! now have a individual width. a desired effect would be if the table header row changed width instead.

### fiddle
I played around with this, trying to make some form of resizable table without javascript.

but didn't really got the effect i wanted

### request
- give an option to make hole border as a resize handle
- some way of making table columns/rows resizable
